You are cool and interesting, and people want your time. Unfortunately, you are a mere mortal human. You can't just give out your time and energy like free samples at Costco. In this episode, we'll discuss being present for, but not solving, your friends' problems. Additionally, Seinfeld is bad, Jenn goes for a walk, and Trin subtly reveals that she doesn't understand what other people eat.   One correction: The Leaning Tower of Pisa is doing just fine. Apparently, the leaning isn't a big deal because the tower's center of gravity keeps it upright. Nice!! Check out the You're Wrong A ..read more
